re: #294 RealityBasedSteve

Hey Gang,

Got a problem. I’ve got a mouse somewhere in my house. I know because I can hear him rustling around behind my desk. I’ve spoken to the cats about this and they tell me that it’s not in their work contract to deal with mice. They said that if I bring it up again they are going to the shop foreman and then filing a complaint with NLRB.

Question for you, when did cats unionize? I figured they were more the ‘independent contractor’ type?

RBS

Well, you see, it’s not that they don’t or won’t get the mouse. It’s that you proposed to direct them. Which is NOT your role. You are the servant.

They will play with the mouse and when they are bored they might kill it or send it to another galaxy or turn it sideways in space —whatever is their perogative at the moment.

You can’t make the error of believing they live in your house. You live in their house only because they wish it.

Same as the mouse.
